Cooking Notes
I cooked this up to the point of adding the yogurt and pine nuts. I used it in an apricot pie with a crumb topping. Added mixture to prepared crust and baked. It was delicious. I also kept some to mix with plain Greek yogurt and that was a good combination.. I had dried apricots that were sulfite free.
